Uthman bin Affan bin Abi al-'Ash bin Umayyah bin 'Abd Syams bin 'Abd Manaf bin Qusayy bin Kilab bin Murrah bin Ka'b bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib al-Qurasyi al-Umawi (al-Makki kemudian al-Madani), Abu 'Amr, dan dikatakan pula Abu 'Abdullah dan Abu Layla.

Uthman ibn cAffan ibn Abi’l-cAs ibn Umayyah ibn cAbd Shams ibn cAbd Manaf ibn Qusayy ibn Kilab ibn Murrah ibn Kacb ibn Lu’ayy ibn Ghalib al-Qurashi al-Amawi (al- Makki and then later al-Madani) Abu cAmr, and it has been said Abu cAbdullah and Abu Layla.

Ia lahir pada tahun keenam setelah peristiwa Gajah, dan ia memeluk Islam sejak dini, termasuk di antara mereka yang diajak masuk Islam oleh as-Siddiq. Ia berhijrah dalam kedua hijrah: yang pertama ke Abesinia dan yang kedua ke Madinah.

He was born in the sixth year after the Elephant, and he accepted Islam very early on, being one of those whom as-Siddiq called to Islam. He emigrated on both emigrations: the first to Abyssinia and the second to Madinah.

Dia menikah dengan Ruqayyah, putri Rasulullah ﷺ, sebelum masa kenabian, dan Ruqayyah wafat bersamanya pada malam-malam Perang Badr. Ia tidak ikut berperang di Badr karena istrinya sakit, dengan izin Rasulullah ﷺ, yang memberinya bagian dari harta rampasan perang dan memberinya pahala, sehingga ia pun dihitung termasuk golongan orang-orang Badr karena hal itu.

He married Ruqayyah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, before prophethood, and she died with him during the nights of the Battle of Badr. He was held back from Badr, because of her becoming ill, with the permission of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who assigned a portion of the spoils to him and rewarded him, and so he is counted among the people of Badr because of that.

Seorang utusan datang membawa kabar gembira tentang kemenangan kaum Muslimin di Badar pada hari yang sama ketika mereka memakamkannya di Madinah. Rasulullah ﷺ menikahkan saudarinya, Ummu Kultsum, setelah wafatnya, dan ia kemudian wafat [dalam keadaan menikah] dengan beliau pada tahun kesembilan Hijriah.

A messenger brought the good news of the victory of the Muslims at Badr on the same day that they buried her in Madinah. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, married him to her sister Umm Kulthum after her, and she later died [while married] with him in the ninth year of the Hijrah.

Para ulama berkata: Kami tidak mengetahui ada seorang pun selain beliau yang menikahi dua putri seorang nabi, dan karena itulah beliau dikenal sebagai Dhu'n-Nurayn - Pemilik Dua Cahaya.

The men of knowledge said: We don’t know of anyone who married two daughters of a prophet apart from him, and for that reason he is known as Dhu’n-Nurayn - the Possessor of Two Lights.

Dia termasuk di antara as-Sabiqun al-Awwalun (orang-orang yang pertama masuk Islam), orang pertama dari kalangan Muhajirin, salah satu dari sepuluh orang yang disaksikan akan masuk surga, dan salah satu dari enam orang yang diridhai oleh Rasulullah ﷺ ketika beliau wafat. Dia termasuk di antara para Sahabat yang menghafal seluruh Al-Qur'an, bahkan Ibnu 'Abbad berkata, "Tidak ada seorang khalifah pun yang menghafal seluruh Al-Qur'an selain dia dan al-Ma'mun." Ibnu Sa'd berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ mengangkatnya sebagai wakil beliau yang bertanggung jawab atas Madinah selama ekspedisi militer ke Dhat ar-Riqa' dan Ghatafan.

He was one of the first outstrippers (as-Sabiqun al-Awwalun), the first of the Muhajirun, one of the ten for whom it was witnessed that they were destined for the Garden, and one of the six with whom the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was pleased when he died. He was one of the Companions who memorised all of the Qur’an, and indeed Ibn cAbbad said, ‘None of the khulafa’ memorised all of the Qur’an except for him and al-Ma’mun.’ Ibn Sacd said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, appointed him as his deputy in charge of Madinah during the military expeditions to Dhat ar-Riqac and Ghatafan.

Seratus empat puluh enam hadits darinya telah diriwayatkan dari Rasulullah ﷺ.

One hundred and forty-six hadith of his have been narrated from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Hadis terkait berikut berasal darinya: Zaid bin Khalid al-Juhani, Ibnu az-Zubair, as-Sa'ib bin Yazid, Anas bin Malik, Zaid bin Tsabit, Salamah bin al-Akwa', Abu Umamah al-Bahili, Ibnu Abbas, Ibnu Umar, Abdullah bin Mughaffal, Abu Qatadah, Abu Hurairah dan para Sahabat lainnya, semoga Allah meridhai mereka, serta sejumlah besar dari kalangan Tabi'in (di antara mereka Aban bin Utsman, Ubaidullah bin Adi, Humran dan lainnya).

The following related hadith from him: Zaid ibn Khalid al-Juhani, Ibn az-Zubayr, as-Sa’ib ibn Yazid, Anas ibn Malik, Zaid ibn Thabit, Salamah ibn al-Akwac, Abu Umamah al-Bahili, Ibn cAbbas, Ibn cUmar, cAbdullah ibn Mughaffal, Abu Qatadah, Abu Hurayrah and other Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, and a great number of others of the Followers (of them Abban ibn cUthman, cUbaydullah ibn cAdi, Humran and others).

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa 'Abdurrahman bin Hatib berkata: Aku tidak melihat seorang pun dari sahabat Rasulullah ﷺ yang, ketika ia meriwayatkan sebuah hadis, meriwayatkannya dengan lebih lengkap dan lebih baik daripada 'Utsman bin 'Affan, kecuali seseorang yang merasa segan terhadap hadis tersebut.

Ibn Sacd narrated that cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Hatib said: I saw none of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who, when he narrated a hadith, narrated it more completely and more excellently than cUthman ibn cAffan, unless it was a man who was in awe of the hadith.

Dia meriwayatkan bahwa Muhammad bin Sirin berkata bahwa 'Utsman adalah yang paling mengetahui di antara mereka tentang manasik haji, dan setelahnya, Ibnu 'Umar.

He narrated that Muhammad ibn Sirin said that cUthman was the most knowledgeable of them in the rites of the Hajj, and then after him, Ibn cUmar.

Al-Bayhaqi meriwayatkan dalam Sunan-nya bahwa cAbdullah bin cUmar bin Abban al-Jucfi berkata: Paman dari pihak ibuku, Husain al-Jucfi, berkata, "Apakah engkau tahu mengapa cUthman dijuluki Pemilik Dua Cahaya?" Aku menjawab, "Tidak." Ia berkata, "Tidak ada seorang pun yang dinikahkan dengan dua putri seorang nabi sejak Allah menciptakan Adam (dan tidak akan ada lagi) hingga Hari Kiamat tiba, selain cUthman. Karena itulah ia dijuluki Pemilik Dua Cahaya." Abu Nucaym meriwayatkan bahwa al-Hasan berkata: cUthman hanya dijuluki Pemilik Dua Cahaya karena tidak diketahui ada orang lain yang menutup pintunya atas dua putri seorang nabi selain dirinya.

Al-Bayhaqi narrated in his Sunan that cAbdullah ibn cUmar ibn Abban al-Jucfi said: My maternal uncle Hussein al-Jucfi said, ‘Do you realise why cUthman was called the Possessor of Two Lights?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘No-one has ever been united to two daughters of a prophet since Allah created Adam (nor will be) until the Hour n rises other than cUthman, and for that reason he was called the Possessor of Two Lights.’ Abu Nucaym narrated that al-Hasan said: cUthman was only called the Possessor of Two Lights because no-one is known of who closed his door upon two daughters of a prophet other than him.

Khaythamah meriwayatkan dalam Fada'ilas-Sahabah dan Ibnu 'Asakir bahwa 1 Ali bin Abi Thalib ditanya tentang 'Utsman, lalu ia berkata: Dia adalah seorang laki-laki yang disebut di Majelis Tertinggi sebagai Pemilik Dua Cahaya. Ia adalah menantu Rasulullah ﷺ dengan dua orang putrinya.

Khaythamah narrated in Fada'ilas-Sahabah and Ibn cAsakir that 1 Ali ibn Abi Talib was asked about cUthman and he said: That was a man who is called in the Highest Assembly the Possessor of Two Lights. He was the son-in-law of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with two of his daughters.

Al-Malini meriwayatkan dengan sanad yang di dalamnya terdapat sedikit kelemahan, bahwa Sahl bin Sa'd berkata: Dikatakan tentang 'Utsman sebagai 'Pemilik Dua Cahaya' karena ia akan berpindah dari satu tempat tinggal ke tempat tinggal lain di Surga, dan akan memancar baginya dua kilatan cahaya, dan karena itulah ia disebut demikian.

Al-Malini narrated with an isnad in which there is some weakness that Sahl ibn Sacd said: It is said about cUthman ‘the Possessor of Two Lights’ because he will pass from one abode to another in the Garden and there will gleam forth for him two flashes of lightning, and it is for that reason that is said about him.

Dia berkata: Ia diberi kunyah Abu 'Amr pada masa Jahiliyah. Kemudian pada masa Islam, Ruqayyah melahirkan 'Abdullah untuknya, lalu ia mengambil kunyah darinya (Abu 'Abdullah).

He said: He was given the kunyah of Abu cAmr in the Jahiliyyah, then in the time of Islam, Ruqayyah gave birth to cAbdullah for him, and he took his kunyah from him (Abu cAbdullah).

Ibunya adalah Arwa binti Kurayz bin Rabi'ah bin Habib bin 'Abd Syams (bin 'Abd Manaf), dan ibunya adalah Ummu Hakim al-Baidha' binti 'Abd al-Muttalib bin Hasyim, dan ia adalah saudari kembar dari ayah Rasulullah ﷺ. Ibu 'Utsman adalah putri dari bibi paternal Nabi ﷺ.

His mother was Arwa bint Kurayz ibn Rabicah ibn Habib ibn cAbd Shams (ibn cAbd Manaf) and her mother was Umm Hakim al-Bayda’ bint cAbd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim and she was the twin sister of the father of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The mother of cUthman was the daughter of the paternal aunt of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Ibnu Ishaq berkata: Dialah orang pertama yang memeluk Islam setelah Abu Bakar, 'Ali dan Zaid bin Haritsah.

Ibn Ishaq said: He was the first to accept Islam after Abu Bakr, 'Ali and Zaid ibn Harithah.

Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan melalui berbagai jalur bahwa 'Utsman berperawakan sedang, tidak pendek dan tidak tinggi, dengan wajah yang tampan dan kulit yang putih kemerahan, pada wajahnya terdapat bekas cacar, berjenggot lebat, bertubuh besar, berbahu lebar, betisnya berisi, lengannya panjang, rambut menutupi kedua lengannya, berambut keriting namun botak di bagian depan kepalanya, gigi depannya paling indah di antara manusia, rambutnya yang terurai menjuntai di bawah telinganya dan ia mewarnainya dengan warna kuning, serta ia memperkuat giginya dengan emas.

Ibn cAsakir narrated by various routes that cUthman was of middle stature - he was not short, nor was he tall - with a beautiful face, a fair complexion tinged with red, on his face the marks of smallpox, with a full beard, large-limbed, broad-shouldered, plump in the shank, long in the forearms, hair covering both his forearms, curly-haired but balding to the fore of his head, the most beautiful of people in the fore-teeth, his locks fell beneath his ears and he coloured them with yellow, and he had strengthened his teeth with gold.

Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahwa 'Abdullah bin Hazm al-Mazini berkata: Aku melihat 'Utsman bin 'Affan, dan aku belum pernah melihat seorang laki-laki maupun perempuan yang wajahnya lebih indah daripada dia.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that cAbdullah ibn Hazm al-Mazini said: I saw cUthman ibn cAffan and I have never seen a man or a woman! with a more beautiful face than him.

Dia meriwayatkan bahwa Musa bin Talhah berkata: Utsman bin Affan adalah orang yang paling rupawan di antara manusia.

He narrated that Musa ibn Talhah said: cUthman ibn cAffan was the most beautiful of people.

Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahwa Usamah bin Zaid berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ mengutusku ke rumah 'Utsman dengan sebuah piring yang berisi daging. Aku masuk, dan di sana ada Ruqayyah, semoga Allah meridhainya, sedang duduk. 1

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Usamah ibn Zaid said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent me to cUthman’s house with a dish in which was meat. I went in, and there was Ruqayyah, may Allah be pleased with her, seated. 1

Lalu aku mulai memandang wajah Ruqayyah sesekali, dan sesekali memandang wajah Utsman. Ketika aku kembali, Rasulullah ﷺ bertanya kepadaku, "Apakah engkau masuk menemui mereka?" Aku menjawab, "Ya." Beliau bertanya, "Pernahkah engkau melihat pasangan yang lebih indah dari mereka?" Aku menjawab, "Tidak, wahai Rasulullah." Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin al-Harits at-Taymi berkata: Ketika Utsman bin Affan masuk Islam, pamannya dari pihak ayah, al-Hakam bin Abi al-'Ash bin Umayyah, menangkapnya, mengikatnya dengan tali, dan berkata, "Apakah engkau ingin meninggalkan agama nenek moyangmu demi agama baru yang diada-adakan? Demi Allah, aku tidak akan membiarkanmu sampai engkau meninggalkan apa yang sedang kau anut itu." Utsman berkata, "Demi Allah, aku tidak akan meninggalkannya dan tidak akan melepaskannya." Ketika al-Hakam melihat keteguhannya dalam agamanya, ia pun membiarkannya.

began to look at the face of Ruqayyah one time and another time at the face of cUthman. When I returned, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, questioned me and asked me, ‘Did you go in to them?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Have you seen a couple more beautiful than them?’ I said, ‘No, Messenger of Allah.’ Ibn Sacd narrated that Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi said: When cUthman bin cAffan became a Muslim, his paternal uncle, al-Hakam ibn Abi’l-cAs ibn Umayyah took hold of him, bound him with rope, and said, ‘Do you wish to leave the religion of your fathers for an innovated deeni By Allah, I will not leave you until you give up that which you are involved in.’ cUthman said, ‘By Allah, I will not give it up nor abandon it.’ When al-Hakam saw his firmness in his deen he left him.

Abu Ya'la meriwayatkan bahwa Anas berkata: Orang pertama yang berhijrah bersama keluarganya ke Habasyah adalah 'Utsman bin 'Affan. Nabi ﷺ bersabda, "Semoga Allah menyertai keduanya. 'Utsman adalah orang pertama yang berhijrah bersama keluarganya karena Allah sejak (masa) Lut." Ibnu 'Adi meriwayatkan bahwa 'Aisyah, semoga Allah meridhainya, berkata: Ketika Nabi ﷺ menikahkan putrinya, Umm Kultsum, beliau berkata kepadanya, "Suamimu, di antara semua laki-laki, adalah yang paling menyerupai kakekmu Ibrahim dan ayahmu Muhammad ﷺ." Ibnu 'Adi dan Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu 'Umar berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Kami mendapati pada 'Utsman keserupaan dengan bapak kami, Ibrahim."

Abu Yacla narrated that Anas said: The first one to emigrate with his family to the Abyssinians was cUthman ibn cAffan. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘May Allah accompany the two of them. cUthman is the first to emigrate with his family for the sake of Allah since Lut.’ Ibn cAdi narrated that CA’ ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, married away his daughter Umm Kulthum, he said to her, ‘Your husband, of all men, is the one who most resembles your grandfather Ibrahim and your father Muhammad.’ Ibn cAdi and Ibn cAsakir narrated Ibn cUmar said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘We find a resemblance in cUthman to our father Ibrahim.’
